Well I have to sat this is unexpected. In Japan the Sony share in the FF mirrorless segement did increase during the month of December (Source: Bcnretail). Canon and Nikon are on par with around 17% share each.

On February 14 Canon will launch a new $1599 entry level Canon EOS-RP Full Frame mirrorless. Sony seems to have learned about that and tomorrow they will launch the first ever discount on the Sony A7III. The camera will get a $200 price drop as you can see from the BHphoto image shared on top.
One more thing: The Panasonic S1-S1R is creating some disappointment on the web. And I agree with this funny guy when he says that all we need is a Sony A7III with a flippy screen :)
Todya we got a bunch of great deals:
Sony A6000: Lowest price ever on the A6000 which now sells for 327 Euro only on Amazon Germany (Click here). This is 80 Euro cheaper than the second lowest price.
Tokina 20mm FIRIN: The 30mm f/2.0 FE lens sells for 555 Euro only on Amazon France (Click here).
Sony A7III: It sells for 1930 Euro on Amazon Spain (Click here). First time I see a price drop on that camera!
Sandisk: The Sandisk SD cards in Europe got extended at Amazon Germany, Amazon France and Amazon UK.

The Panasonic S1-S1R cameras have been announced and are listed officially at BHphoto. Full news coverage on L-rumors.com.
Apotelyt.com posted this accurate size comparison between the Sony A7III and Panasonic S1:
Here is a side by side image between the Panasonic S1R and Sony A7rIII via Dpreview:
The camera is big and expensive. It’s more “DSLR styled” than the competition. Panasonic might decided to go for a certain niche of photographers that want the DSLR feeling and handling. I am curious to learn if those cameras will sell well!
Sony released their full Q3 financial reports. The company as a whole and the Imaging Segment did well. The only negative note is that Sony changed their forecast in the Imaging Business expecting a “decrease in unit sales of compact digital cameras“.
It means they expect less fixed lens camera sales (RX line for example). Not something really surprising. What matters at the end is that they are steadily making profit with the business.
